Ranveer Singh and Zoya Akhtar set to reteam?

According to reports, Ranveer Singh has been offered the next directorial venture of filmmaker Zoya Akhtar. If the news is indeed true, it will mark his third collaboration with the acclaimed filmmaker after Dil Dhadakne Do (2015) and Gully Boy (2019).

“Ranveer worked with Zoya for the first time in her 2015 flick Dil Dhadakne Do. It was a multi-starrer and Ranveer got noticed for his performance and character. Zoya then offered Ranveer the solo lead role in Gully Boy. This film added a lot to Ranveer’s already envious track record. Despite criticisms that it was a niche film, it did a business of around Rs. 140.25 crore,” a source close to the development informs an entertainment portal.


The source goes on to add, “Both Ranveer Singh and Zoya Akhtar have a lot of attachment for each other. Ranveer never stops raving about Zoya and she too is all praises for him. More importantly, both are at the same wavelength and understand each other. This makes their work easy. So, when Zoya completed her next script, Ranveer was her unanimous choice. This is not just because of her fondness for him but also because she knows that Ranveer can fit in any role today effortlessly. The actor too is impressed with her script and has given his nod.”

Upon being quizzed about Zoya Akhtar’s next, the source says, “Nothing is known about it. Zoya and the producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani have kept it a heavily guarded secret. But if Zoya’s past record is anything to go by, then one can expect another entertaining and hard-hitting stuff from the director.”

The source says in conclusion, “Things are at a nascent stage and also, the lockdown has thrown everything out of gear. So, an announcement cannot be expected in the near future. Also, Ranveer will have to look at his choc-a-bloc schedule to determine whether he can give dates for the project. But knowing how much Ranveer values Zoya, he will surely do anything to be a part of her next.”

'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' sequel on Netflix: David Fincher helms film written by Quentin Tarantino starring Brad Pitt

David Fincher is set to direct a sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with Quentin Tarantino penning the script for the follow-up to his Academy Award-winning film. The project, confirmed by Variety, does not yet have an official title but is being developed at Netflix, where Fincher holds a first-look deal. Brad Pitt will reprise his role as Cliff Booth, the stuntman with a dark past.

The film marks a particularly unique collaboration, not only due to one renowned filmmaker directing a sequel to another’s work but also because of its transition from theatrical release to a streaming platform. The original Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was released in 2019 by Sony Pictures, but Tarantino had negotiated a deal that would grant him ownership of the film’s underlying rights after a set period. The fact that this sequel is being developed under Fincher’s Netflix agreement suggests that Tarantino may already hold the sequel rights privately.
